Product Information

The two moves can be with the same piece or separate pieces and includes: placing, moving, flipping, drawing or stealing a piece in the case of Hive: Venom and Hive: Swarm respectively. Your opponent cannot immediately re-flip the Honeycombo, they must wait until at least their next turn. The Mantis cannot ordinarily move, however, if your opponent placed a piece on their last turn then the Mantis can fly onto and remove that piece. Both the Mantis and the enemy piece are then permanently removed from the game. And we couldn’t finish without mentioning that smart thermostats are also a great way to save money on your energy bills. Note: The Mosquito is removed if it mimics either predator in removing an enemy piece. The one Hive rule must not be broken at any time during removing a piece. Also, neither Predator can remove a piece which is touching the Shieldbug. Queen bee: slides to an adjacent space. A player loses if their queen bee is surrounded (see below).

Flip the Honeycombo to play two moves on your next turn and discover a host of new possibilities. The Honeycombo can be used with any of the Hive games, creating new game-play possibilities and spicing up the opening positions.

🍪 Privacy & Transparency

The Honeycombo can only be flipped by the player who's colour is face up, and only once they have placed their Queen Bee. The Grasshopper does not move around the outside of the Hive like the other creatures. Instead, it jumps from its space over any number of pieces (but at least one) to the next unoccupied space along a straight row of joined pieces. Each creature has its own way of moving about the Hive and it's possible to move pieces to a position where they touch one or more of your opponent's tiles. The depth of strategy comes from all your insects having unique abilities. Soldier ants battle to keep control of the outside of the hive, while Beetles climb up to dominate the top. Spiders scuttle into holding positions and Grasshoppers jump in for the kill! Keep one eye on your hive and the other on your opponent’s reserves, try and plan one or more steps ahead. Note: The Mosquito can only mimic the movements of the Butterfly or Moth when adjacent to either piece on top of the Hive and not at ground level since they don't begin their movement there.

The Soldier Ant can move from its position to any other position around the Hive provided the restrictions are adhered to. This freedom of movement makes the Ant one of the most valuable pieces. Flipping the Honeycomb counts os your move for that turn but allows you to moke two moves on your next turn. The game continues in this way until the player is able to move or place one of their pieces, or until the game is lost with the surrounding of their Queen Bee. Use this rule to your advantage by moving your pieces to strategic positions around the Hive, leaving your opponent's key pieces unable to move.

Setup

If a player is able to make a legal move, they must do so. If a player is unable to make any legal move, they must pass. With Hive this is done using Hive Actions. It’s a great way to make everyday life a little easier. If only it could brush your teeth as well. But let’s start at the very beginning, how do smart thermostats work? Well, they connect your boiler to your smartphone or tablet using your home’s WiFi connection. This means you can get the temperature at home just right from wherever you are. Exception: The first piece placed, of course, will not touch anything, and the second piece placed will necessarily touch the first piece (of the opposing color).
